| - Once you've exhausted everything else to do in the greater Phoenix area, you might want to check this place out. However, be forewarned, there's just not much to it. There're two TINY mazes - a mirrored one and one created by lasers. The mirrored one takes about five minutes to get through the first time and about two minutes for subsequent runs. So, there's about seven minutes or so of entertainment for your $10 per person. After that, you just won't feel like doing it again.
So, you'll move on to the laser maze challenge, which requires an additional fee - it ranges from $2 to $4 depending on how many times you want to go through it. It's a small room outfitted to look like a bank vault with lasers mimicking the alarm system. The idea is to move through the room as fast as you can whilst avoiding the lasers - you get a score based on how fast you get through it. The score system not only discourages youngsters from lingering inside the "vault," but it encourages them to move through it as fast as they can, which, according to the guy running the attraction, turns this thing into a real money making machine - probably another reason why they make the room look like a bank vault.
My eleven year old went through both mazes twice and was ready to hit the road. So, although he did thoroughly enjoy the half-hour experience, this is not something anyone of any age will want to spend a whole afternoon doing. Was it worth the $25? I think so - glance at Scottsdale real estate prices and you'll get a better understanding of why things cost so much around here. Would I do it again? Probably - next year, but not anytime soon.
